Angels' Ryan Johnson: Tosses five frames in rehab start
Johnson (hamstring) completed five innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, allowing three earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out five batters.
Johnson was making his second rehab appearance; in his first, he tossed 3.1 scoreless frames for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday. Angels manager Kurt Suzuki said after Friday's outing the right-handed hurler "felt great" while mentioning that the team will "talk about" Johnson's next steps, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Johnson made one start with the big-league club prior to landing on the injured list, and he could move back into the rotation once healthy, especially now that Yusei Kikuchi is facing an extended absence due to a shoulder injury.
